Slow Cooker Gingerbread Pudding

Have you started planning for Christmas? The food I mean rather than the presents.

If you want to have a change from a Christmas pudding, or are catering for a crowd and want an alternative to add to your menu, how about a slow cooker gingerbread pudding?

Inspired by the flavours of sticky gingerbread cake, but served as a steamed pudding, this dessert is bound to please a crowd.

A traditional steamed pudding spiced with ginger and other festive spices and drizzled with lashings of golden syrup, this would make a great winter dessert for a cold day as well a being a festive favourite.

Use your slow cooker to steam the pudding and your kitchen won’t be filled with steam, plus you will have an extra ring free on the hob for your Christmas trimmings and sides.

Dig in while it is hot and add a jug of custard on the side, with the sweet golden syrup balanced by the warming flavour of ginger.

There’s no need to wait for Christmas though, we enjoyed this for a weekend treat too on a wintry day. Just look at the shine on that golden syrup, you could dive right in!

[…] i LOVED all of them! However, in the end I am going to pick as my favourite of the recipes- this gorgeous syrup sponge pudding made in the slow cooker from Lucy – it just looks delicious and comforting. Perfect dessert for this time of […]
